See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orb_(optics) - Believe it or not,
there is a whole subculture of people who believe these are spiritual
manifestations. -T
I bet somebody sneezed on him just as he was taking the picture. Maybe
he'd do better worrying about the swine flue. ;-D
A similar phenomena was in one of the National Geographics this past
year. The issue with Angkor Wat had a photograph taken in rain with slow
sync & you could see where the drops fell further after the flash went
off. Made it look like the rain was falling up.
One of those situations where rear curtain sync would have been useful.
